On Aug. 6, the Office of LA City Councilmember Curren Price joined more than a dozen local community-based organizations to host a “Back-to-School Giveback” at The Beehive in District 9. As part of their efforts, partners handed out backpacks, free clothing and school supplies to over 600 students, while stylists were also on-hand providing children with fresh hairstyles in anticipation of the first day of school.

“Equipping students with the right tools at the start of the new year helps to lay a solid foundation for successful academics,” said Councilmember Price. “It gave my wife Del and I much joy to help distribute bags filled with goodies to families. Together we can nurture not only a lifelong love of learning but also build up a students' confidence while fostering their natural abilities.”
The Councilmember added that his office would be taking part in a series of back-to-school events happening Aug. 12 to help District 9 students and families get prepared for the 2023-2024 academic year. Among the anticipated events are ones organized by Mothers in Action, South Central Family Health Center (SCFHC) and Brothers Taking Responsibility of Our Community (B.T.R.O.C).
